The participants were secondary administrators in Louisiana public schools. Notable findings indicated that cyberbullying is a complex problem because the greatest amount of cyberbullying is occurring off-campus. This study found Facebook and other social media sites are the most commonplaces for cyberbullying to occur; therefore, students need to be taught to use social media responsibly. Findings illustrated that female students were more likely to participate in cyberbullying, cellphones are used as a source for cyberbully, and there is a disparity between administrators regarding the effectiveness of Louisiana cyberbullying laws.  \nIntroduction  \nCyberbullying is a new twist on an old problem in education (Ackers, 2012) . Bullying is a serious issue that schools across the world have been battling for decades (Accordino & Accordino, 2011) . However, cyberbullying brings new complications, new laws, and anew territory that the school system must address (Willard, 2007) . As a fairly new issue, the research on cyberbullying is limited, but the effects of cyberbullying are considerable (Butler, Kift, & Campbell, 2009; Grigg, 2010) . In fact, several research studies identify cyberbullying as a growing problem that affects adolescents all over the world and across various cultures (Accordino & Accordino, 2011; Ang & Goh, 2010) .  \nResearch has shown that cyberbullying can occur at any time in life, but it typically peaks in middle school (Sbarbaro & Smith, 2011) . Some researchers have found that females experience cyberbullying more often than their male counterparts (Ackers, 2012; Price & Dalgleish, 2010; Snell & Englander, 2010) . In contrast, other researchers have concluded that there is no significant difference in cyberbullying among girls and boys (Hinduja & Patchin, 2008) . However, all researchers appear to agree that the effects of victimization from cyberbullying are far reaching and include low selfesteem (Hinduja & Patchin, 2010), increased chances of suicide (Schneider, O’Donnell, Stueve, & Coulter, 2012; Hinduja & Patchin, 2010), distress (Juvonen & Gross, 2008), anger (Burgess-Proctor, Patchin & Hinduja, 2010; Ortega et al., 2012), frustration (Burgess-Proctor et al., 2010), and negative “mental health” issues (Reeckman & Cannard, 2009, p. 48) .  \nOlweus (1993) described the act of bullying as repeatedly harassing another person and causing harm. This type of bullying can be both direct and observable or subversive and difficult to detect. In addition, bullying behaviors result from an“imbalance of power”(Violence Prevention Works!, n.d., para. 3) and when “he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself”(Violence Prevention Works!, n.d., para. 2) . However, in recent years bullying has taken a new direction: cyberbullying. According to many researchers, bullying and cyberbullying are closely linked and students typically participate or experience both forms of bullying (Maher, 2008; Twyman, Saylor, Taylor,& Comeaux, 2010) . Cyberbullying is the repeated harassment of someone through the use of email, texting, or other electronic means (Hinduja and Patchin, 2009) . The number of students who experience cyberbullying as a victim varies depending on the study. For example, Ybarra, Diener-West, and Leaf (2007) found 34.5% of students reported being cyberbullied. In addition, 10% of those students admitted to repeated cyberbullying abuse. Smith, Mahdavi, Carvalho, and Tippett (2006) concluded that approximately 22% of students are, at one time or another, victims of cyberbullying.  \nAs technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, school administrators are faced with the problem of disciplining not just bullying among students, but cyb","cbCaibRc6QewCPZ8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibRc6QewCPZ8","pdf",227276,15,"English","# Introduction\n# Research Questions\n# Literature Review\n## Traditional Bullying\n## Cyberbullying Defined","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of this qualitative phenomenological study?\",\"answer\":\"The study explores school administrators’ experiences with cyberbullying incidents in Louisiana public schools.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does cyberbullying most often occur according to the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The greatest amount of cyberbullying occurs off-campus.\"},{\"question\":\"Which platforms are identified as common places for cyberbullying?\",\"answer\":\"Facebook and other social media sites are identified as the most common places where cyberbullying occurs.\"}]","CYBERBULLYING: AN EXPLORATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS’ EXPERIENCES WITH CYBERBULLYING INCIDENTS IN LOUISIANA | PDF",1792093368,38]
